If arriving by train, we would prefer to meet you at Sherborne station at approximately 3:30pm. For those coming to Yetminster or Chetnole Station please discuss with the guest coordinator before booking your train. We routinely take guests back to Sherborne station for the 2:30pm or 3:30pm trains. We ask for a £6 donation per trip to cover our costs.

Hilfield Cancellation Policy for Group Bookings - A deposit of £100 per house is asked at the time of booking, after which time the booking will be confirmed. A full refund of the Deposit will only be made for cancellations made within 7 days of confirmation of the booking. If a cancellation is made up to 8 weeks before the date of the arrival then it MAY be possible to transfer the deposit to another booking – please contact the Guest Co-ordinator. If a group want sole use of the house then they are expected to donate for that house i.e. we cannot have 1 or 2 people in a house with the rest of the rooms empty. The Guest Co-ordinator will explain this if required. Please Note - There will be NO refund of deposits for cancellations of bookings within 8 weeks of the date of arrival. Hilfield Friary’s income is mostly from Guest Donations and therefore unfortunately we need to implement a deposit system to enable us to keep the recommended donation low enough as to be accessible to all who wish to come whilst keeping the Friary running.
